Dogtooth — IQ Score 160/200

Yorgos Lanthimos's 2009 international breakthrough film about a family whose three adult children have been raised in isolation on an estate, having been taught that random objects (chair = sea, sea = leather armchair) have entirely different meanings. The structural commitment to letting the cult-architecture cognitive premise be rendered with deadpan-realist register — and the willingness to follow the experiment to its disturbing conclusion — established Lanthimos as a major international voice.
